Lipsense lipstick works fine if applied in thin layers as it needs up to 2-3 layers for it to form its color on your lips. This Lipsense vs Younique review uncovers the ins and outs of these products to help you get value for your money. Younique lipstick gives your lips a smooth and full coverage that moisturizes your lips.
I won’t deny that I’m a big fan of beauty and skin care products. I recently ordered Younique lipstick from one of the online stores. I have been using it for a while now. Earlier on, my sister brought me Lipsense from one of her many travels and it did not disappoint as well. Let me share my user experience of these products.
Lipsense review
Lipsense brings you a rich variety of colors that will last you all day.
End product
Apply three thinner layers of this lipstick to achieve the attractive finish you desire. It comes with a top coat gloss that helps seal the lip color and also moisturize the linings of your lips.
Stay power
I used this product for a record 8 hours on day one without it feathering or flaking. However, after a fatty fish lunch the second day, I noticed a slight change in its color intensity on my lips. I tried to apply top gloss again and it brought the lost intensity back that lasted the rest of the day.
Non-transferrable
With Lipsense, you don’t have to worry about leaving it on cups or your lover’s lips. It stays all day without getting transferred. However, if you are a new user, you will notice that it start to flake after 6 hours of use. This is a normal exfoliation process that occurs if you are using it for the first time.
Pros
- Long wear
- Several rich pigmented shades
- Not easily transferable
- Moisturizing top gloss
Cons
- Long application process
- Tingling effect for a first user
- Re-glossing during wear

Younique Review
Younique comes combining smoothness and full coverage into an attractive lip finish
Stay power
Honestly, Younique failed me when it came to its lasting power. I applied it in the morning before leaving my house but had to reapply it again before lunch hour. The intensity of its color was greatly reduced. It just doesn’t cut it as a lip product with a lasting power.
End product
The lipstick is creamy. You can be sure that it won’t leave your lips feeling dry but moisturized all through. It’s also easier to apply to give your lips a bright full coverage that feels smooth. It becomes quite patchy after long hours of use.
Smooth texture
This product is creamy and leaves your lips feeling smooth. It perfectly matches your lip line and you do not need a lip liner to streamline it.
Pros
- Smooth feeling
- Easy to apply
- Hydrates your lips
Cons
- Not long lasting

My verdict
If what you are looking for is a moisturizing effect for your lips, Younique gives that glossy smooth finish you desire. Beware of the fact that it doesn’t last long as you will have to reapply it severally during the day. Lipsense though heavy and has a long application process suited me well because of its rich sense of color.
